Deadlifts: 9×1@320/145 + 80/36 chains
Good Mornings: 2×8@255/116
Bent Over Rows: 2×10@198/90
Deadlifts are starting to get a little heavy, at least they felt heavier this week. I really worked on exploding the weight up once I got to my knees and actually try to accelerate to the top. I kept the rest periods down for most of the sets but a couple times I took 5 minutes or more.
The good mornings got a little lighter as I upped the reps a little bit, I figured I could sustain the same weight(275) for 8’s but not today I couldn’t. I’ll work back up to 275 in the next few weeks. I got lazy and skipped abs today so I’ll do them tomorrow for sure.
Nice work on the chained deadlifts. Are you doing this as speed work or technique work or both?
I am surprised with the training environment you have that you haven’t tried deadlifting against band resistance.
It’s for both, I need the speed at lockout and well as getting used to driving my hips at the top.
I have played around with deadlifts and bands, I didn’t like the way the weight came on from the bands. I’m going to switch up to reverse bands deadlifts next week I think, I just need to figure out what the right amount of weight to use is.
